Welcome to your Wednesday edition of Morning Coffee.
Yes, we know, the Longhorns lost to Maryland on Saturday, which isn’t ideal for a program that’s now 7-7 under Tom Herman. There is some good more positive news elsewhere, though.
ESPN’s latest Big 12 Power Rankings released on Tuesday and surprise, surprise — the Texas Longhorns are near the bottom of the pack. After falling to Maryland for the second time in as many seasons the Longhorns sit at seventh in the 10-team ranking, ahead of only 0-1 Texas Tech, 1-0 Baylor, and 0-1 Kansas.
The Texas women’s volleyball team will make its home debut on Thursday when the Longhorns welcome Texas State as part of the American Campus Classic.
